Our Landscape Lighting Design Process

Our ultimate goal when designing your landscape lighting system is to accentuate your landscaping and create the right ambiance that you're after.  Our design process involves choosing the types of lights and the fixtures to be used, determining the exact placement and orientation of the lights, selecting the appropriate lighting levels and color temperature to create the desired visual effect, and lastly what type of control system to use.

Here are the steps involved in our landscape lighting design process:

  1. Identify the goals and objectives: Before starting the design process, it's important to identify the purpose of the lighting. Is it for security, a dynamic night time look, or both? What specific features in your landscape do you really want the lighting to highlight or accentuate?
  2. Survey the site: Next, we walk around the site and take note of the existing features, such as trees, shrubs, pathways, and structures. We need to consider how these features will be affected by the lighting and how they can be used to enhance the overall design.
  3. Choose the types of lights and fixtures: There are many different types of landscape lighting fixtures to choose from, including spotlights, path lights, and floodlights.  We need to consider the style and theme of the landscape, as well as the type of bulbs and controls that will be used.
  4. Determine the placement and orientation of the lights: We will decide where the lights will be placed and how they will be oriented. We'll need to consider the height and angle of the lights, as well as the distances between the fixtures to ensure we get the best coverage.  As your landscape matures, we may even need to readjust them in the future, so this must be considered as well.
  5. Select the lighting levels and color temperature: We need to consider the desired ambiance and mood of the space, and choose the appropriate lighting levels and color temperature to create the desired effect.
  6. Test the lighting: Before finalizing the design, it's important we test the lighting to ensure it creates the desired effect. This may involve adjusting the placement or orientation of the fixtures, or adjusting the lighting levels and color temperature.
  7. Install and maintain the lighting: Finally, once the design is complete, the lighting fixtures can be installed and properly maintained to ensure they function properly and look their best. This may involve cleaning and replacing bulbs and fixtures as needed.

The biggest deciding factor with your new landscape lighting is going to be your overall budget.  We have no intention of showing you something or presenting ideas you can't afford, we can work with your budget to come up with a beautiful landscape lighting scheme you and your family can enjoy.

If you'd like to schedule a consultation with us to discuss your landscape lighting ideas we'd be happy to meet with you.  Please call (908) 265-3847 or fill out our online form and we'll get right back to you.

How Much Does Landscape Lighting Cost?

Landscaping lighting systems vary from basic systems to much more detailed and complex lighting systems for large properties with extensive landscaping.

Basic Landscape Lighting

$3500 - $6500

This would be for a basic landscaping lighting system to light up a deck or backyard patio.

Mid-Range Landscape Lighting

$6500 - $12,000

This would be for a mid-range lighting system for a larger backyard patio, deck, and driveway or pathways.

Complex Outdoor Lighting

$12,000 - $30,000+

This would be for a larger project with many different styles of fixtures and extensive electrical upgrades.

Landscape Lighting Systems Can Include

There are several methods of landscape lighting that we can incorporate into your outdoor lighting system, including:

Path lighting: Lights that are installed along walkways or paths to provide visibility and safety.  They set an inviting tone as you or your guests navigate your property when the sun sets.

Spotlighting: Lights that are installed to highlight specific features, such as trees, sculptures, or architectural details.

Floodlighting: Lights that are installed to illuminate large areas, such as decks or patios.

Up lighting: Lights that are installed on the ground and pointed upwards to highlight trees or other vertical elements.

Downlighting: Lights that are installed on trees or other structures and pointed downwards to illuminate the ground below.

Accent lighting: Lights that are installed to add visual interest or create ambiance, such as string lights or LED strip lighting.

Step lighting: Lights that are installed along stairways or steps to provide visibility and safety.

Wall lighting: Lights that are installed on walls or other structures to provide illumination and add visual interest.

Deck lighting: Lights that are installed on decks or patios to provide illumination and create a welcoming atmosphere.

Submersible lighting: Lights that are designed to be submerged in water, such as pond or pool lights or for a water feature like a fountain or waterfall.

By using a combination of these types of lighting, you can create a cohesive and functional lighting design for your landscape.

These prices are only ball park figures to give you a rough idea as to what you should expect to pay for landscape lighting design and installation.  Your particular landscape lighting project may vary depending on the size of your property, the specific lighting fixtures chosen, the electrical work required, and the overall scope of work.  If you need a firm price please request a consultation so we can view your potential project, listen to your ideas, and determine the actual scope of work required to complete your landscape lighting system.

I highly recommend Haughey Brothers Landscaping. They did an excellent job repairing our front walk, where tree roots had pushed up the paver stones; and our driveway, where a number of stones had sunk below the edge of the garage. They totally evened out both areas, and power-washed them as well. Now they look brand new! Haughey Brothers really did a great job.

I recently had the wonderful opportunity to work with Haughey brothers landscaping for the installation of my new patio, and the experience exceeded all my expectations. The owner, Devin, personally oversaw the project, bringing an unmatched level of professionalism and expertise to the table. From our first meeting, Devin impressed me with his deep knowledge and passion for landscaping. He was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the design process, ensuring that every detail was tailored to our preferences and needs. His hands-on approach and commitment to excellence were evident throughout the project. The team working under Devin was just as professional and efficient, completing the patio on schedule and to the highest quality. The final result is a breathtaking outdoor space that has become the highlight of our home. Devin’s leadership and personal involvement as the owner truly made a difference. It’s clear that he and his company Haughey brothers landscaping stand for quality, customer satisfaction, and beautiful craftsmanship. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch landscaping services.

The Haughey Brothers were recommended to us for some backyard landscaping work. They were highly responsive in providing us with proposals and patient as we changed our plans several times. They were prompt and professional throughout the 1-day installation. The crew was highly industrious in properly preparing the area for the plants, rock landscaping and sod. Ethan and his team went above and beyond to ensure the job was successful. We will use them again next year for other yard improvements.

We were looking for a complete overhaul of our front landscaping and walkway. I reached out to The Haughey Brothers and received a very timely response - which is rare these days as I reached out to a few different companies and received zero response from the majority of them. I submitted a request for a quote through the Haughey Brothers Landscaping website (which was very easy to use) and Ethan gave me a call that same day. We discussed what I was looking for and he actually stopped by to see the space - again, the same day - in order to provide the most accurate quote. He arrived with an idea for the space already in mind and described his plan in great detail. I could immediately tell he was someone with solid experience in this field. He measured the space and then said he would get back to me with a quote as soon as possible. I was pleasantly surprised to find that "as soon as possible" meant that very night! We worked together on revising the quote so that it met my exact needs and budget and then we were ready to get started. The Haughey Brothers team got to work very quickly. They dropped off the plants and began the job within a day or two of signing the contract. Ethan was extremely communicative throughout the entire process and I really could not be happier with how it ended up looking. I would highly recommend their services. They were a pleasure to work with and I look forward to using them again for any of my future landscaping or hardscaping needs. Thanks again to the entire team for a job very well done.

Since my husband was unable to cut grass because of an injury the past two weeks, Haughey brothers landscaping responded to my message the same day and helped us out! They cut our lawn and trimmed a bush and we were saved from getting a fine from the town. Great job and so appreciated!

We used Haughey Landscaping and we are very pleased with the outcome. The pricing was fair and the workers were thorough. They cleaned up after themselves, which I consider a very important part of the job. The only negative is that Ethan said he would place a stepping stone in front of the shed and he did not. I reminded him twice and both times he said he forgot but would do it and he didn't. To be fair it wasn't part of the original estimate, I asked on the day the work was done. Other than that we are pleased with what was done. I changed my rating to a five star because they followed up on their promise. 👍

I couldn't maintain my front and side yard while undergoing breast cancer treatment, and Haughey Brothers Landscaping has given me such a beautiful gift back by fixing up my gardens again! Thank you!

We could not be more happy with the work the Haughey Brothers & crew did with our landscaping. We do not have a green thumb and our landscaping needed a lot of work. They gave us an estimate and started work right away. They brought a team of hard working & respectful guys who transformed our landscaping into the nicest on the block! I can't wait to use them again and again for other items we need done outside. You won't regret hiring them for your next project.

Thank you Haughey Brothers Landscaping for the great work in the front and back of our home. The new garden with the Dwarf Japanese Maple & perennials/Boxwood shrubs looks fantastic, and the rocks behind the garage was a much needed big project that we are so happy with the outcome. We definitely recommend the Haughey brothers and will use them for future landscaping projects!

Haughey Brothers Landscaping did a wonderful job landscaping our front yard. Everything turned out beautifully.

Haughey Brothers provides terrific service. I am a lifelong Cranford resident. The brothers were born and raised in Cranford. One is a student in college, the other in high school. I state this as a coming-of-age curmudgeon. They are respectful, hard working and provide their services at a fair price. They also attempt to employ other Cranford students to assist them. I highly recommend them for you snow removal and landscaping needs.

Over the past year, we have hired Haughey Brothers Landscaping for multiple jobs, including spring cleanup and weekly lawn mowing. Our front landscaping needed a complete overhaul, and Ethan and Devin were quick to give us a quote & come out once we were ready to start the project. They completed it in one day - pulling out all of the ground plants, trimming bushes, mulching and filling in a giant hole from where our oil tank was removed! They are very communicative & checked in to ensure that we were happy with the progress. Would highly recommend for all jobs big & small!

I initially spoke with Devin on a Thursday evening and Ethan came by on Friday to review what I wanted done. The Haughey brothers provided me with an estimate and reviewed what shrubs I would like planted in a timely manner and the job was complete by Tuesday! They use quality products (top soil/mulch/plants), are polite and respectful AND they get back to you. I highly recommend Haughey Brothers Landscaping for your landscape projects!

Haughey Brothers were amazing! I just moved into my first home and the landscaping was very overgrown and neglected. I needed a fresh start but was too intimidated to take on the work by myself. After reading other reviews I contacted the Haughey brothers and Ethan came over right away to talk through what I was looking to do and his recommendations. Within one week of the original conversation they were over and within two days of work, tore everything out, planted new gorgeous flowers, trees and bushes, mulched, and added a small retaining wall. They could not have been nicer and kept me involved the whole time, making sure I liked what was chosen and was okay with the prices. Highly recommend!!!!!!

The Haughey brothers recently did a bunch of landscaping in the front of our house. This included planting bushes, clearing out brush, putting down new mulch and building a decorative block border around our holly tree. The Haughey brothers did an excellent job!! They were professional, reasonably priced and kept us in the loop as they were deciding on bushes to plant and blocks to pick for the border. We definitely recommend the Haughey brothers! I have also posted some pics of their great work!

Haven’t used their services as I’m located in Michigan, but these 2 young guys are out here making a difference in the world. Age is just a number. I’ve helped them out in times when they needed and vice versa. They are polite and hardworking, if I was an adult in Cranford, I would definitely use and recommend Haughey Brothers Landscaping.
